Hardangerfjorden in norway sometime in autumn a couple years ago. #oilpainting
Oil painting of the fhord with a diagonal field cutting through the view. The heaven is an almost cloudless soft blue gradient getting mirrored on the water. The distant mountains framing the fjord on both sides are snow covered.

Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social
cinema_nasties 1d Al defenders are so embarrassing j.paulmonter 2h All you are saying is that you want to gatekeep creativity. That's not good. drachelbarr & 20h • •• Neuroscientist here... creativity is a process. A process. A FUCKING PROCESS. Not an output. Nobody is gatekeeping the process - Al simply invites you to skip to the end, to the output. Which, as mentioned, is not creativity. Nobody cares if the output is aesthetically pleasing, because the process, the act itself, the limitation of a single human mind and the resulting creations that capture that one single inimitable human experience... is what makes a creation worth paying attention

A foggy moody view of a jetty on a fjord with hints of the mountain behind it visible and a rainbow cutting through. There's also a dark treeline with some houses on the left.

We need more colour, not less. As I've got older I've dressed more colourfully. Our car is bright yellow, so fun and jolly!
